Prince Philip’s Disdain for Meghan Markle Revealed in New Book
New revelations have surfaced regarding Prince Philip's sentiments towards Meghan Markle, the wife of his grandson, Prince Harry.
Following Prince Philip's passing in 2021, Prince Harry expressed deep affection for his late grandfather, emphasizing the special place he held in their hearts.
However, a recent book by Ingrid Seward sheds light on Philip's true feelings towards Meghan, likening her to the controversial figure, Duchess of Windsor, Wallis Simpson.
In the book titled “My Mother and I,” which delves into Queen Elizabeth II's relationship with her son, King Charles III, Seward discloses Prince Philip's reservations about Meghan.
Notably, Prince Philip was cautious and skeptical of Meghan's charm offensive, drawing parallels between her and the Duchess of Windsor.
He reportedly referred to Meghan as the Duchess of Windsor upon noticing similarities between the two women.
Contrary to Prince Philip's apprehensions, Queen Elizabeth II held a favorable view of Meghan after their initial meeting at Buckingham Palace in 2017.
Seward reveals that the Queen not only liked Meghan but also envisioned a positive future for her alongside Prince Harry in their efforts to benefit the youth of the Commonwealth.
While the Queen supported Harry's relationship with Meghan, Prince Philip urged caution, citing Meghan's resemblance to Wallis Simpson, who had a tumultuous history within the royal family.
The Duke of Edinburgh's concerns stemmed from the disruptive potential he perceived in Meghan, drawing parallels to the events surrounding Wallis Simpson and King Edward VIII's abdication in 1936.
King Edward VIII's abdication, fueled by his desire to marry Wallis Simpson, had a lasting impact on the royal family.
Seward highlights the Queen's mother's negative perception of Simpson, viewing her as the catalyst for her husband's premature death due to the stress induced by the abdication crisis.
Prince Philip remained steadfast in his reservations towards Meghan, maintaining his skepticism even as time passed.
His discernment contrasted with the Queen's more optimistic outlook, showcasing a dynamic within the royal family regarding Meghan's integration.
Despite the Queen's discreet nature regarding her opinions on Meghan, her concerns were subtly expressed to trusted confidants such as Lady Elizabeth Anson.
Lady Elizabeth revealed the Queen's disapproval of Meghan's Givenchy wedding gown, deeming it too extravagant for a remarriage in a church setting.
In response to Prince Philip's misgivings, the palace initiated an investigation into Meghan's background, a move orchestrated to safeguard the royal family's interests.
The subsequent cover-up of Meghan's profiles was reportedly done to protect Prince Harry from potential repercussions.
In a surprising turn of events, it is alleged that the Queen eventually labeled Meghan as “evil” in her final years, indicating a significant shift in her perception of Harry's wife.
Additionally, Prince Philip's astute judgment extended to Prince Harry, leading to a noticeable distance between them, as evidenced by Harry's decision to sell antique guns gifted by Prince Philip at Meghan's behest.
The intricate dynamics within the royal family, as exposed in Seward's book, provide a glimpse into the complexities and tensions surrounding Meghan Markle's integration into the monarchy.
Prince Philip's cautionary stance, the Queen's measured support, and the underlying tensions underscore a narrative rich in intrigue and familial dynamics.
